4. Scotchcast™ No 4 Resin
Unfilled solvent free two-component epoxy resin for room
temperature curing
Earthing Kits
Scotchcast™ 4 Electrical Insulating Resin is a two-part epoxy insulating and encapsulating
resin packed in three sizes. This resin, mixed in its unique container bag generates its
own heat to cure. The nature of the viscosity, which first decreases to allow it to flow into
crevices and awkward spots and then increase rapidly to cure, makes it ideal for small
joints. Its compatibility with solid and synthetic cable insulations and jackets makes it an
excellent insulator and sealer for cable splicing.
